It’s weird not being able to get online at leisure. I’m typing this entry in TextEdit until I can log back on in the lobby. So actually, it could be worse.

Though we didn’t place in the top three, I’m thankful for the experience… and that the competition is over. San Francisco was fun; I wish we could’ve stayed longer than three days.
